TED Coming To Canada

The influential TED Conference is coming to Vancouver starting in 2014, conference organizers and the City of Vancouver announced on Monday morning.

The conference holds two keynote events, one in Long Beach, Calif. and a second in Edinburgh, Scotland. The Long Beach edition will be re-locating to Vancouver and Whistler starting next year, the conference’s 30th anniversary.

“Inside this center, we’ll be building a new kind of TED theater — one designed to maximize the impact of talks while also taking advantage of the panoramic views of the North Shore Mountains. Our stage designers are dreaming up what this new space will look like as we speak,” conference organizers wrote in their blog post.
